Although Elizabethan English is English, we have problems figuring out what Shakespeare was saying in his play. So far I have enjoyed the plot of the story. There are a lot of comedic moments that are incorporated into the plot and bring light to the negativity of the plot lone that is told to us in the prologue. I can't wait to read more of Romeo and Juliet so that I can learn more about how our language is constantly changing.

Romeo and Juliet
Since last week, I have not yet gotten The Notebook, so I am going to tell you about the piece we are reading in my English class, Romeo and Juliet. Thus far we hath read all of Act one whence we meet the brawling families and their children, Romeo and Juliet. At a party the two young children see each other and fall in "love". Everyone knows the story of Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers that die. The real struggle they don't know about is deciphering the text in its original form of Elizabethan English.

I like the way that you incorporated a video on a new Romeo and Juliet movie that is coming out. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way on how you enjoy the plot! Also I liked how you talked about comedy being in the play.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the difficulty in deciphering Elizabethan English. It's confusing but it also adds effect to the story. I also liked the way you mentioned the comedic moments despite this being a tragedy. Great postttt Abigail.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you incorporated not just what you like about the book, but what you're struggling with. It's very relatable.
